It is a morphologically variable species with four recognised varieties. The species is used medicinally in Venezuela, and as an aphrodisiac in Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela.Table of ContentsDescription[edit]Taxonomy[edit]Distribution[edit]References[edit]Description[edit]The species ranges in size from shrubs to trees, usually 1\u20138 metres (3\u201326\u00a0ft) tall, but sometimes ranging up to 25 metres (82\u00a0ft) tall. The leaves are usually simple in adult plants, but are occasionally compound.[2]:\u200a131\u200a It is an ochlospecies\u2014a species that is highly variable morphologically, and that variability “cannot be satisfactorily accommodated within a formal classification”[3]\u2014with a very wide distribution. Consequently, a large number of species and varieties have been described based on variations between collections.[2]:\u200a142\u200aTaxonomy[edit]The species was first described by Jean Baptiste Christophore Fus\u00e9e Aublet in 1775. The name Roupala was based on roupale, a name used locally in French Guiana.[2]:\u200a117\u200a The Latin specific epithet montana refers to mountains or coming from mountains.[4]In their 2007 monograph, Ghillean Prance, Katie S. Edwards and coauthors recognised four named varieties within the species: R. montana var. montana (the “nominate” variety, based on Aublet’s original description of the species), R. montana var. brasiliensis (Klotzsch) K.S.Edwards, R. montana var. impressiuscula (Mez) K.S.Edwards and R. montana var. paraensis (Sleumer) K.S.Edwards.[2]:\u200a131\u2013146\u200aDistribution[edit]Roupala montana ranges from Mexico in the north, through Central America, to Trinidad and Tobago, and across South America to southern Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay and southern Brazil.[2]:\u200a132\u200aThe species is used for fuel wood, high quality charcoal, medicinally and to a limited extent for woodworking and construction,[2]:\u200a135\u2013188\u200a The wood is commonly used for wood turning and sold in small spindles and blocks. Specialist exotic wood suppliers typically refer to this timber as Leopardwood but it can be confused with other species such Lacewood (Panopsis -P. rubescens and P. sessilifolia).[5] The wood shows strong figuring in quartersawn sections. It turns well and gives a good finish.  Quartersawn lacewood and leopardwood showing characteristic figuringIt is one of several species including Parinari campestris and Richeria grandis which known by the common name bois band\u00e9. These species are reputed to have aphrodisiac properties.[6]:\u200a105\u200aReferences[edit]Wikimedia ErrorOur servers are currently under maintenance or experiencing a technical problem.Please try again in a few\u00a0minutes.See the error message at the bottom of this page for more\u00a0information.
